Hey, I need some help buying a gaming PC for my 14-year-old son. He plays on his PS5 right now and wants to switch to a PC. I don't know about PCs so I'm looking for advice... is it possible to buy a decent bundle with all the stuff he needs and a monitor for around £1000? The games he plays are Rust, Overwatch 2, Valorant, Call of Duty, etc....he says he only needs one monitor but would you recommend two? Any advice would be great..... Thank you in advance

Thanks for getting back to me! It seems like this is just a task I need to handle alone.

I have a 7-year-old computer and a used screen. You probably think it's the best deal possible. But honestly? It won't feel good to use.

Building isn't that hard, but if you don't want to mess around yourself, buy some parts and have a pro do it for cheap. You'll get way better stuff than what's sold in stores right now. You can turn on the Windows part later and save money there too. There is no loss in performance with this option.
